Chemotype genetics-true
Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the lab-verifiable signal that stays true to a cultivar’s genetics, which is why scientists classify cannabis by chemical profile (a “chemovar”) rather than by name (Hazekamp & Fischedick 2012). Cannabinoid type is set largely by a single gene (the THC:CBD ratio); about 96% of commercial flower is Type I, THC-dominant. Terpene profiles are sourced from Certificates of Analysis (COA) and roll out as Areto’s lab-verified data comes online.
Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide
Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

Aromas/ flavors: lemon, wood Iceberg, feminized Seeds Iceberg is a very resinous variety that offers great yields and a enormous potency. Anesia Seeds crossed a Master Kush with a Grand Daddy Purple with huge productivity. After the most profitable cannabis plants were selected, they were again crossed with a Granddaddy Purple male and then stabilized by multiple backcrosses. Iceberg named after her cope. Within 62 days of flowering time this pure Indica produces indoors up to 700g per square meter of thick, rock hard buds that are covered with a rich layer of resin. Outdoor this strain can be harvested in the end of september / beginning of october （500g per plant）. Iceberg delivers a powerful body hit followed by a stimulating mind stone. Even experienced smokers should treat this potent variety with caution. Iceberg is a ideal strain for hashish and BHO production. She has a very fresh lemon flavor with a hashish note and delievers extreme strong, long-lasting indica effects.
